Outline of Research at the Start |
India's vaccination rate is one of the lowest in the world. This is puzzling because India has an established Universal Immunization Program since 1985, and vaccinations are offered free. The primary aim of this research is to examine and understand the reasons for this practice.
|
Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The primary objective of this project is to understand and examine the puzzle behind lower vaccination use considering India as a case study that (1) contributes to the largest pools of under-vaccinated children in the world, (2) accounts for one-third of the annual vaccine-preventable child deaths globally, and (3) among one of the lowest vaccination rates in the world.
I have published two working papers on this project. They are under review for publication in peer review Journals. Additionally, I am currently analyzing Archival dataset from India to write another paper under this project. Finally, I have presented my findings at numerous international and domestic conferences.
